Military Equipment Transferred to the Afghan Government: DOD Did Not Conduct Required Monitoring to Account for Sensitive Articles

Abstract

Since 2001 the United States has made training and equipping the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) apriority of its reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. To support this priority, from fiscal year (FY) 2002 through FY 2017 (the most recent year for which data are available), the U.S. government transferred to the Afghan government more than $28billion worth of defense articles and services, including weapons, ammunition, vehicles, night-vision devices, aircraft, and surveillance systems. Congress has mandated that the U.S. government ensure that countries receiving defense articles and services appropriately use and secure them through a program called end-use monitoring (EUM).
